Is this not a thing in Windows? It’s such a wonderful convenience, and I swear I’ve always used it, but I guess I haven’t touched Windows in well over a decade at this point, so I can’t say I remember.

I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB, and I’ve never had a problem with speed, really. The only issues I have with speed are when I do things from outside my home network, which is a limitation from my ISP, not my hardware.
EDIT: Just checked with a quick dd and it seems my drive’s sequential write speed is about 250MB/s, far exceeding USB 2.0. It’s not a great SSD, so that’s a pretty expected value, tbh.


Someone more knowledgeable about the older gen Pis could probably help you a lot more than I could. I have a Pi 4b 8GB for my server, so that’s gonna be a bit more capable than what you’ve got, but I imagine you can probably still find lots to do with it! Setting up a basic headless server should be no problem at all.


I have an entire home server running on my pi; it’s just going to depend on what model you have and what you want to do with it. Personally, I run my pi from an SSD kept in a USB drive enclosure because microSD cards suck and I want my system to be responsive. I host websites and ssh into it all the time for a great number of random tasks. I have a custom Fedora install, but Raspberry Pi OS or whatever they switched the name to after Raspbian is probably fine for most people. It’s based on Debian, or at least is was many years ago when I last saw anything about it.


I do this with texts/DMs, but I’d never do that with an email. I double or triple check everything, make sure my formatting is good, and that the email itself is complete. I’ll DM someone 4 or 5 times in 30 seconds though, it feels like a completely different medium ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is remedied for me by the clipboard history in the system tray in KDE. I can have a lot of things in my clipboard and access any one of them whenever I want
